Please don’t hyperventilate if from time to time issues
arise that need to be examined, understood, and resolved. They do and they
will. Be kind regarding human frailty; your own as well as that of those who
serve with you in a Church led by volunteer mortal men and women. Except in the
case of His only perfect Begotten Son, imperfect people are all God has ever
had to work with. That must be terribly frustrating to Him, but He deals with
it. So should we. And when you see imperfection, remember that the limitation
is not in the divinity of the work. As one gifted writer has suggested, when
the infinite fullness is poured forth, it is not the oil’s fault if there is
some loss because finite vessels can’t quite contain it all. Those finite
vessels include you and me, so be patient and kind and forgiving. – Jeffrey R.
